We are still working on it. Alot of hurdles to jump before this can be done, cause it can get ugly real quick with manufactures..... Nobody wants to be at the bottom.

I wanna see the TC76MPS up against all the other 76's out there. I know it won't win in the power department, but maybe in the spool department? This should be tested on stock cubes.

I don't think for the money and quality you will find a unit that will match it in performance and spool up. Also you have the unit without BB, add BB and it would spool even faster.

I couldn't imagine the thing spooling any faster it starts at 2500 or maybe even before that on my car even with the .96 exhaust ar. I think my tuner dialed in my tune with lots of timing before the boost kicks in and my heads and cam package and tubular turbo headers and 9.8:1 compression really help spool the sucker as fast as possible. It feels like a twin swrew but with more power and efficiency.

Yeah, the TC76 is probably the best street turbo available. Great unit for sure....
